Boiler installation costs in Cardiff and South Wales
As a Welsh startup, we started our operations in Cardiff back in 2019. Since then, we have installed thousands of boilers across South Wales in areas like Barry, Llanrumney, Whitchurch, Penarth and St Mellons.
Boiler installation costs differ based on the type and size of the boiler. It also varies if you’d like to move the boiler from one room to another and can differ based on the location of your house.
To give you a rough estimate, you can expect to pay around £1,860 for a combi installation in Cardiff and £2,000 for a conventional or system boiler installation. If the job is a back boiler conversion, expect to pay around £2,700 because it’s a complex job.
Which boilers are best?
Picking the best boiler from many boiler brands can be confusing. At the end of the day, if you’re about to spend over £2,000 on a new boiler, you want to make sure that the manufacturer is known for its build quality, exceptional customer service and long warranties – that’s why we only sell world-leading boiler brands like Worcester Bosch, Ideal, Viessmann, Vaillant, Vokera and ATAG.
Read our blogs to find which combi, system and conventional boilers are best for your home.
Gas boiler types
There are 3 main gas boiler types; combination boilers, system boilers and conventional boilers – here’s the difference:
- Combination boilers don’t have any tanks; they heat water from the mains water supply. Combi boilers tend to be the best option for most UK homes as they don’t need storage tanks and offer heating and hot water on demand.
- System boilers have a hot water storage tank, usually in an airing cupboard. System boilers are usually found in households with more than one bathroom in use at the same time (high hot water demand).
- Conventional boilers have a hot water tank and a cold water storage tank (usually in the attic). Regular boilers are useful for homes with low water pressure as they utilise a ‘gravity fed’ system, but due to the tanks involved, most homes switch to a combi boiler when replacing a regular boiler.
If you’d like to know which boiler type and size is best for your home, answer a few questions in our online survey, and we’ll recommend the best boilers for your home.
Gas boiler replacement in Cardiff
Your boiler could last between 10-15 years, or even longer – if it is well maintained.
If your boiler stops working entirely and can’t be fixed, you’ll have to replace it immediately, but bear in mind that many other less obvious signs let you know it’s time to say goodbye!
Here are the top 6 warning signs;
- An unexplained rise in energy bills – naturally, boilers lose efficiency over time, which means your energy bills will go up regardless, but if your energy bills are creeping up out of control, this might be a sign that your boiler needs replacing.
- Your boiler makes odd noises such as banging, whistling, popping or hissing sounds.
- Your boiler is leaking – while leaking doesn’t mean you have to replace your boiler, it is a sign that there are issues in one of the internal components. We recommend calling a heating engineer to check it out before it becomes more serious.
- Frequent breakdowns – this happens a lot towards the end of the boiler’s lifespan and it may be time to start shopping around for a new boiler.
- The boiler doesn’t heat your home as it used to and doesn’t provide hot water either.
- Finding replacement parts for your boiler is a nightmare.
Before you commit to the big purchase, ask a heating engineer to check that there isn’t a build-up in your heating system preventing your boiler from working as it should, and if you’d like to get a fixed price quote for a new boiler to evaluate if it’s worth fixing your current boiler or getting a new one, take our boiler survey.
